Famous cats of the internet

With the help of the internet and social media, cat-obsession has rocketed. Whether searching for cute kittens, or
funny cat videos, the internet has all of the answers to our cat prayers.

Whilst it’s not uncommon for your furry friend to have their own Instagram accounts, some cats have managed to
break the internet and gain more followers than you could ever imagine.

Here are Petplan’s top four cats of the internet…

1. Venus the Two Faced Cat

Venus achieved her prominent reign over the cat-internet world due to her unforgettable face, which resembles two
cats merged into one! She is just like any other tortoiseshell cat, however one side of her face is black with a
green eye and the other side is ginger with a blue eye!

When it comes to feline genetics, Venus is somewhat a mystery. One theory suggests that the two coats is a result
of
an extra X chromosome, while another poses the chance of Venus containing two types of DNA.

However, it could just be down to pure luck that Venus’s colouration splits perfectly down the middle of
her
face!

Another unique thing about Venus is her single blue eye, which is common in breeds such as Siamese and Himalayan
cats, but not the tortoiseshell cat.

2. Colonel Meow

Speaking of Himalayan cats, Colonel Meow is a cross breed between the Himalayan and Persian breed. He is an
internet sensation and famously known amongst the cat-loving community as the World’s Angriest Cat.

He holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fur on a cat, measuring 23cm - a coat that long requires
brushing at least three times a day!

3. Sam the cat with eyebrows

Sam the cat is an internet sensation and widely known as the cat with eyebrows! The unique black markings above
his eyes make him look constantly surprised, and as a result, Sam has stolen the hearts of many.

Sam is named after an Andy Warhol book and we can’t deny that Sam’s eyebrows certainly look like a
work of art!

Although Sam is a huge star in the cat world and has featured in global magazines, his favourite things include
eating tomatoes and playing.

4. Cole and Marmalade

Cole and Marmalade are rescue cats and famous for their self-titled YouTube channel. With the help of their
owners,
Cole and Marmalade are able to spread awareness and educate their followers about feline issues, particularly
the
importance of spaying and neutering.

They have a huge social following on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, however when they’re not in front of
the
camera, they are just two regular cats!

Cole is a Turkish Angora who has an incredibly close bond with his owners. Marmalade is a ginger Tabby cat and
overcome cancer in 2014. The pair even help raise money for cat charities worldwide!

As well as being full-time pets, these cats have stolen the hearts of cat lovers far and wide. If you’re ever
feeling down and need a pick me up, keep up with these furballs on social media and you’ll be good to go!
